Quote: Where is the holiness of the church of God today? Ah! were she what she professed to be, she would be “fair as the moon, clear as the sun”, and then “terrible as an army with banners”; but now she is dim as smoking flax, and rather the object of ridicule than of reverence. May not the measure of the influence of a church be estimated by its holiness? (Charles Spurgeon)
